Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am giving it three stars because of its poor quality. This unit is not up to the standards of my old 4-quart Nesco roaster oven. This unit is manufactured in China and the quality shows. I will start looking for appliances manufactured in Europe and pay the price for the quality.
WARNINGS:
1.The unit gets EXTREMELY hot even the control knob.
2.Do the initial burn-in outdoors. This unit smoked for 45 minutes giving off harsh smelling fumes. This unit will need a burn in time of hours because it still has a harsh smell when heated. I am wondering if the smell is not the internal parts melting
3.Do not leave this unit unattended when doing the burn-in or cooking.
4.DO NOT allow children near this unit.
Before cooking in the unit, I decided to test how accurate the dial temperature settings were. I used a Taylor analog oven thermometer and set the units temperature dial to 275 degrees. I allowed the unit to preheat as directed in the owner's manual. After the preheating time I removed the lid and discovered the internal temperature was 350 degrees. I confirmed the Taylor thermometer reading with a Fluke model 62 IR (infrared) digital thermometer. I will test the unit again at a different setting later this week. I will make notes in the owner's manual so that I do not ruin a meal because of inaccurate temperature dial listings.
